Thanks for keeping this going and adding the close enough qualifier. Always bugged me that my 2022 team made this list while my 2028 team didn’t, even though the 2028 team was better.

Updated list, including 2042 in bold. This season sees 4 teams added. This is very skewed overall to LL4 so similar to the leniency for higher League Level teams applied a few seasons ago, I may adjust to have a higher bar for LL4 in the future (thinking another filter of "40 wins or .900 winning %"). Also added the teams that won the National Title.

Is there any way that the teams, or at least maybe the top 5 of them per division of something, could be ranked in some way?

It'd be problematic. Debatable. But...

Your team. Every season. Every year. Is who the best is. Anything else lacks confidence.

The metric has community backing, and takes considerable time to compile.

Some of the community really ran with these teams. And those Presidents are gone. Others know how difficult it is to even get onto the same floor with these teams.

Like Viper said in Top Gun, anyone wondering who the best is, click on the Champions page as a supplement to this ranking.
